I have a 2020 model, which I thought has pretty much the same engine as the earlier ones but with a few tweaks to improve performance and efficiency, but I am still surprised to hear that the earlier ones struggled to get to or maintain a motorway speed @ 70mph (obviously with some dependence on weather/incline etc).
The original Forza 300 had the same engine the current Forza 300 does.
It could get up to 85-88 eventually.
Mine could sustain 75mph uphill into a headwind.
It was perfectly OK for UK motorways.

80 m/h that is about 128 km/h
Here in Europe, at least in The Netherlands, Belgium and Germany, the maximum speed for a truck is 80 km/h that is about 50 m/h, no wonder you guys are scared of trucks

I live in the area where they make the TV program "Highway Thru Hell"
I have been at several of the wrecks. I don't think I caused any of them. Not sure.
